But those whose heart goes
after their disgusting things. The beginning of this clause is in the
Masoretic Text reads, incomprehensibly, “But to the heart [we’el lev] of
their disgusting things.” The translation reflects a widely accepted emendation
grounded in the Targum Yonatan, we’eleh ‘aḥarey. (Robert Alter, The Hebrew Bible, 3 vols. [New
York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2019], 2:1080)
